With these lyrics,?

Name that song!!!

when they let me out of prison I held my head up high
determined I would rise above the shame
but no matter where I'm livin' a black mark follows me

Now i'm a BRANDED MAN out in the cold! MERLE HAGGARD!

Not sure if it's right, but Google said Merle Haggard- Branded Man

Im a branded man one of hag' early hits and one of his best

Branded Man by Merle Haggard. Good song.
